  1. I guess because someone died, and clearly another person unintentionally caused that death, there have to be manslaughter charges? Hopefully it's dealt with quickly and sensitively, and the mitigating circumstances don't lead to a custodial sentence. I imagine that the Steeler's player responsible can't feel any worse than he already does 😔
  2. Except everyone looks at him and says Weren't you the guy who stuck your old chap in a pigs head?
  3. Global warming is getting serious lads. I just found the remains of a dead penguin in our street
  4. Damn - not the news I was expecting to read today. This place will never quite be the same again. I always used to enjoy when a newbie would have a go at his spelling and then skulk back under their rock when everyone put them straight. No one messed with our B4!
  5. Oh hello - would this surprise anyone? https://www.planetcritical.com/p/everybody-wants-gazas-gas
  6. The problem here is that the media are now addicted to polarising issues in order to survive. If they can create a "them and us" scenario and get both sides arguing like crazy about it, their ad counters spin like a money machine But, what I've observed on this issue is that actually, the majority of people have settled on a consensus that war is bad, killing is bad and that there ought to be a concerted effort from our governments to try and broker some peace. Not wave through the idea of the Israeli "defence" strategy continual indiscriminate killing of children, as somehow being a proportionate response. It's obvious in this thread. We are usually at each others throats over stuff but look at which posts are getting the most cheers and likes. There is no media incentive to report on the consensus. Depressing
  7. Spot on - anyone who wears a poppy and has a problem with someone who doesn't, is simply proving that they don't really understand what the poppy signifies
  8. So Tommy Robinson and his right wing thug mates have got involved in counter protests and are fighting with the police and chanting "England Til I Die" I can't work out what their angle is here - counter to what? The peaceful march is an anti-war one. So he's....pro war?
  9. What a world we live in where a headline like this will have him derided in certain quarters as being "woke"
  10. I really struggle to understand how anyone who is anti-war and wants to protest against yet another war being waged on foreign soil while western governments (and the military industrial complex) nod approvingly - would consider threatening violence against poppy sellers is in line with their belief system
